Supporting Whole Child, Whole School, and Whole Community Social, Emotional and Mental Wellness

The return of the new school year can uncover feelings of stress, anxiety, trauma, and fear. As our nation faces unprecedented challenges, the RethinkEd Team is committed to providing our valued partners and school communities across the nation with strategies and resources for supporting the physical, social, emotional, and mental well-being of teachers, staff, students, and their families as we return back to school.

RethinkEd will provide districts with a tool kit that includes webinars, whitepapers, tips, and strategies for helping ourselves and others build resilience community support. 

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the foundation for managing emotions, having healthy relationships, understanding and empathizing with others, being responsible and safe, learning to cope with difficult situations, and manage our stress, emotions, anxiety, and fear.

Educators, staff, and parents have access to on-demand videos and learning resources to support their own mental health and emotional wellness as well as develop knowledge around SEL, Inclusion, and Equity. They will also have access to a comprehensive curriculum containing student videos, instructional materials, lessons, and activities to implement with their students/children. School teams will be able to access assessments to drive content and monitor progress. Students will have direct access to grade-level assigned videos and activities through the student learning center.
